The strategy is to shorten development timelines by using artificial intelligence (AI)-based materials design technology and strengthen competitiveness in the high-value-added materials market.


Headquartered in Plano, Texas, Ares Materials develops polymers and specialty materials using its proprietary Materials Intelligence platform.


The platform uses AI to learn from data on the molecular structures and compositions of materials, predict their properties, and optimize their performance. It can shorten development timelines by reducing the number of experiments that must be repeatedly conducted during conventional materials development.



Through this collaboration, the two companies plan to apply AI-based property prediction technology to the materials development process. The performance of specialty materials generally varies depending on various factors, including molecular structure and composition, requiring repeated experiments and validation at each design stage. The companies expect that AI will streamline these processes and accelerate development.
